Weller is often given too much of a free pass - some of what constitutes as ‘poetical lyrics’ is just pretty gam fisted but yes, The Jam were decent.

 

[luka]

they did. they did. but i watched a old weller doing thats entertainment with noel galliger and the lyrics were really bad
as a result but they are realy good

 

[luka]

if they are kids lyrics they are supreme as middle aged lyrics the meaning changes

 

[luka]

the jam are one of the best english bands but only if they are young. context is everything

I read some of the Fred Vermorel 'fans' (Starlust ) book recently and one fantasy that stood out was the one some lad had about walking into the boys' toilets at school and the Jam bassist ( something Fox ) was stood at the urinals wanking...of course he encouraged the boy to join in... one of the reasons it stood out was because the vast majority of the book was "women of a certain age" getting wetties over Barrie Manilow, but another reason was just "why"? Was the Jam bassist that hot? I don't understand...
